were filed against James B. Wilson, eluding the settlement of the coal disalleged absconding member of the firm J pute and the reparations question be-

of Manlove and Wilson, who disappeared from Richmond on Monday, April 18. The specific charge named in the affidavit is that Wilson cashed a check at the Second National bank in Richmond for $500 made payable at the First National bank in Cambridge City. The date of this check was Saturday, April 16. Wilson left Richmond the following Monday before the check was returned from the Cambridge City bank. Efforts to locate Wilson have failed thus far although several clues are being followed diligently by police officers and Sheriff Carl Wadman. Harding, Addressing Odd Fellows, Praises Fraternity (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, April 27. President Harding recounted to an audience of Odd Fellows last night, assembled in celebration of the 102nd anniversary of the order, how a fraternal organization once had been the means of promoting the spirit of happy concord between his chauffeur and himself. In attending a meeting of a fraternal organization, the president related how to his surprise he had found hin self seated by a man who had been in his employ for seven years as a chauffeur. "It was the finest thing in the world that could have happened," the president continued, "for on that night we met as brothers for the first time and ever after that he was a better chauffeur and I was a better employer." In reminding the Odd Fellows that there was an inclination to be overboastful sometimes in the claims of the world to democracy, he declared: "I speak not only for a fraternity but for an America that practices wha she preaches." Policewomen are becoming popular in Japan.

OM THErV LONDON BOARD ENDS ARBITRATION OF WAR CASES IN FEW WEEKS fBv Associated Press) LONDON, April 27 Within a few weeks the last of the cases resulting from wartime collisions between ! United States naval vessels and those of the British Ministry of Shipping! will have been definitely settled, responsibility fixed and damages awarded. In October, 1919, the British and American governments agreed to the establishment of Joint arbitration boards to adjudicate these cases, one to sit in Washington, the other in London. Cases relating to collisions occurring west of the 33rd meridian were to be heard in Washington; those east of this boundary, in London. From their decisions there was no appeal. The object of their establishment was the speedy, equitable settlement of disputes without resort to the usual time-consuming and expensive legal battles before admiralty courts. Both Sides Satisfied So satisfactory to both governments have been the decisions of the London board that the Washington tribunal has been disbanded and the cases awailing its attention transferred to the London board for disposition. This was due partly to the belief that the Ivindnn hoard nnsscsspri hetter facili ties for the handling of such problems, The President of the London board, Butler Aspinall. a distinguished British authority on admiralty matters, was chosen by the American government and approved by the British authorities. W. Norman Raeburn, a barrister, and Captain Francis C. L. Andrews, of the British navy, and two Americans, Commander Harry L. Pence, acting naval attache of the American embassy, and Commander Robert K. Wright, a member of the New York and Pennsylvania bars, are the other members of the board. BANK RATE REDUCTION DISCUSSED IN LONDON (By Associated Press) LONDON. April 27 The possibility of a reduction in the bank rate is being eagerly discussed in Lombard street, where the advocates of cheaper money point to the recent issue of treasury bills at a lower rate of interest and to the announcement of a funding loan as factors bearing in the way of a reduction of official minimum rate. During the past few days the im provement in the New York exchange rate has been considered as another development pointing toward cheaper money. Lower Rate Wanted There seems no doubt that the commercial community is anxious to have a lower bank rate after twelve months with the rate at 7 per cent, but conservative opinion in banking circles inclines to the belief that the change may be postponed a week or two. The treasurv view of the situation favors !a reduction it seems to be considered but those in touch with the bank of England believe the bank, influenced by other considerations, would desire 1 to see conditions more propitious, infore making any change. Church Fair Successful; Attractions End Tonight Despite inclement weather, the first night of the First Christian church Baffaire was reported a success.

The Farm and The Farmer By William R. Sanborn

"What about fruit up your way?" was the question asked of William B. Woodward, of Dublin. "Any left, do you think?" "Sure there Is," he came back. "I have lived for 45 years and have never yet seen a spring when the cherries, plums, peaches, etcetera, wasn't mostly killed deader !han old Goliath, and in all these summers 1 have revelled in cherry pie, peaches and cream, and in other fruits and berries." "There are always cherries that are later than others, you know. Besides you must take the fruit crop on faith. There always has been and there always will be fruit. Nature provides for that and always will, no doubt. Now as to apples, I have a fine tree of Early Transparents. which looks mighty promising. Not a bud killed as I can see, but that may be partly because of the protection given by the house wall. Anyhow the buds are O. K." Mr. Woodward Is an optomlat, right. He talks like a man who eats three meals every day, except when he makes it four for good measure; and enjoys them all. Too Wet For Plowing In Mr. Woodward's view the farmers around Dublin will put in the usu al crop of corn. He says he has taken I in a little corn at 50 cents, even money and easily figured "just like saying two and two are four," said he, "which gets away with abstruse cal culations." He said he had paid $1.20 for the last wheat taken in and had j recently bought about 600 bushels of joats at 62 cents. He states that farm - ers are backward with their plowing ana mat even alter three days of sunshine mighty few could get into their fields up to Tuesday afternoon. Corn and Potatoes Up A townsman at Dublin tells us that he planted sweet corn and potatoes on April 7, and that they are showing sreen. also growing in a hurry. He hated to give out this information or to add anything about his peas, as it might hurt the feelings of those who haven't yet plowed their gardens. We are not quite so tender hearted as Mr. Woodward, hence this mention. Oats Escape Frost. R. O. Naylor, manager of the Farmers Grain and Supply company's elevator at Modoc, states that a whole lot of plowing remains to be done, also that he ipn't figurin? on doing any of it, as he is not farming this season. In his opinion the oats are all sown up his way and, so far as he is informed, escaped damage from frost. The uual acreage was put in and the same is likely to be true as to corn, although the wheat acreage was cut fomo last fall on account of market conditions. Mr. Naylor said that he was payin? 65 cents per hundred for com, 30 cents per bushel for oats and could pay $1.10 or a little better for i wheat. Cutting Corn Acreage. Manager Becker of the Farmer's Co-operative elevator at Camden, say?, that fanners have planned to reduce their corn, acreage this year and if the weather doesn't brighten up shortly still less corn than originally planned will go in. He is paying 45 cents for corn and was offering $1.21 for food wheat on Tuesday. No oats are SET OF GARMENTS INFANT. FOR AN Pattern 3575 is here poitrayed.

oeing marketed. Mr. Becker stated that they have bought twenty cars of fertilizer so far this spring, through he Ohio farm Dureau, also that the wheat acreage will be considerably short of that harvested last year. The farmers of the township will meet on Thursday night, the last Thursday o? the month heins their regular meeting date. There is a large bureau membership In the Camden district. Are Importing German Potash. Not only are they turning out a world of potash again in Germany, but the United States imported $21,042,000 worth of it in 1920. Our total purchases of various descriptions from Germans was about $89,COO,00O in that year, fertilizer materials making up nearly one-fourth of the amount. The fertilizer imported totaled 452,000 tons. It is expected that a much greater tonnage will be brought in this year. Farm organizations are a unit in demanding that: 'The issuing of tax tree securities should be stopped by a constitutional amendment, to the end that all may share equally in the bur dens." The president of the American farm bureau will be the guest of honor at an old-fashioned barbecue at Paris. Kentucky, Saturday, April 30. At the tobacco growers' convention held March 28 at Louisville. President How-

ard was authorized to select a nation al tobacco marketing committee, and the members will most likely be announced at the Paris meeting. Farm Meetings in Union The township farmers will meet at Philomath. Union county. Thursday ! night, at which time Everett Hunt, a Wayne county farmer, is billed to talk on co operative methods and the aims of the farm bureau. On Friday night the farmers of that district are to meet at the Universalist church at College Corner. The farmers of the Dunlapsville section held an interesting meeting at that point on Tuesday evening, according to a report from County Agent Campbell. With reference to club work.
